My sunshine....

So, did you think I was getting possessive of the sun or something? Tee hee- I couldn't think of a better post title, so I decided to use part of the sentiment on my CPS card this week. Although, it is my sunshine....as well as your sunshine, and her sunshine, and his sunshine....I digress. Sorry it has been so long between posts! Blogger and I haven't been getting along so well. I was about ready to permanently break up....but I think it is finally letting me add images into my posts. Let's see how it goes....:)

I have a few cards to share with you today. But first, I have some news in case you hadn't heard yet. I was asked to be on the card design team for GCD Studios! I love their papers, and the latest embellishments they have been coming out with! I can't wait to start!

Instructions: Fold white cardstock in half to make cardbase. Round the corners of a blue paper block and adhere to the front. Freehand cut the hills from green patterned paper, and round the appropriate corner. Adhere to the bottom of the blue block. Cut the sun from yellow & orange cardstock at 2.5" and 3" using the Cricut Expression and Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. Cut a circle of white cardstock and stamp the sentiment to it. Layer all of the items together. Cut the clouds from white cardstock at 2" & 3", and cover in glitter. Adhere the three cuts to the front of the card, popping the sun and top cloud. Accent the sun with jewels. Cut the butterfly and its layers from yellow & pink cardstock at 3/4" using the Pooh & Friends cartridge. Layer together and accent with jewels. Adhere to the top cloud cut, and cover the pink layer in Stickles.

Up next is a card I did for FTL #81 at the Clean & Simple Stamping blog. Such a fun little sketch this week...I just added a ribbon to it!

Instructions: Fold kraft colored cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners. Round the bottom corners of a block of white cardstock, and stamp the dots and sentiment to the bottom of it. Tie ribbon above the stamped images, and adhere the entire white block to the front of the card. Accent the dots with clear jewels.

Instructions: Fold pink cardstock in half to make card base. Cover the bottom with an Easter paper block. Round the top corners of a strip of white cardstock. Stamp the bunnies to the middle and give them white puffball tails. Adhere the strip to the top of the card. Add pink paper frill a little below the seam, and then tie ribbon around the seam. Adhere a button to the bow using twine. Stamp the sentiment in black directly to the patterned paper. Accent underneath with jewels, and add a thin strip of paper to each side of the "Easter" part of the sentiment.

Since Blogger is finally letting me post images, I am just going to keep this short and sweet! I will be back in a couple days to share some more!! Hopefully it will be a bit more personal of a post then! Have a great night! ♥

They are all great Lea.. and I love the last one! Congrats on your win over on Moxie fab... and Congrats on your DT news... that is awesome! :) I knew that rainbow card would be a winner! :) Who doesn't love rainbows!

Love your cards Lea, the sun is just too cute! That Embellish Challenge had me stumped too! Every time I tried it I hated what I'd made and nver finished one card! Just ended up throwing coloured images across the room!! Love those little bunnies!

Lea, these are all fabulous! I love the FTL best but the row of bunnies are so cute with their pom pom tails.I have long been an admirer of your beautiful work - I love your playful style and fresh colors - your cards are always inspiring!

Hi Lea, I particularly like your Embellish Magazine color/border challenge card. I just love the tails on those rabbits. They look so cute. Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I would also like to wish you much fun with your new position on the design team for GCD studios. :)
